Well put! You deserve a break! Come back to us refreshed (and hopefully rich from winning Mega-Bucks)!!
Enjoy your sabbatical you deserve it.
Linda Lou is correct, being happy is the most important thing in life. If your not, why waste your time on it. I got hooked on your stories from I think LvTalk maybe 5 or 6 years ago maybe longer than that. Anyway, I'm in your corner and I will reclick everyday. Hang in there brother.
Mikey,
I will miss you posting, but do what you must. If it has become a chore, F it! Take a break.
I have enjoyed all your posts.
I live thru you man! LOL!
You are my hero!
Have a great summer dude!
Bob.

You take all the time you think you need but know there are a bunch of people like me who don't normally comment but enjoy all you have to say. I hope you'll be back to blogging before the wife and I head out that way. I could use some good craps advice. Take care and enjoy your time away.
Thanks for all the interesting reads, Mikey. Have a great summer!

P.S. Something makes me think you have a few "canned" stories saved on Microsoft Word, ready to be randomly spit out over your sabbatical....
I know about when a labor of love becomes much more labor than love. 
Sometimes just knowing you can take a break from it all is enough to get your head wrapped back around it.
I know that I won't be alone in reclicking here every day just to see if maybe there's something here. But I hope you get the distance you need to learn to love it again.
Mikey
enjoy your summer man..you have been entertaining many of us for years. You are a great story teller, it seems like no matter what you are doing you make it sound interesting.
Everyone needs a break every now and then. I can't blame you at all.
take care and good luck this summer, hope you lay some more beat downs at the poker table
Mikey is heading down the holiday road!!
Mikey, dear, you've done a beautiful job articulating your decision to take a break from the blogsphere (and with your trademark honesty that we all know and love). Some time away is sure to restore the driving force behind every talented writer: PASSION. Your readers will miss you, but when you come back, I know they will be rewarded for their loyalty.
No pressure or anything...
There were times I wondered how you kept up. Like the time we partied and drank until 4 am and while I went to sleep it off, you went home to write about it. That is commitment.
Mikey - I don't mind waiting for your passion to return. Be happy and we will be content to click and re-click waiting to hear updates. Don't you have a family cruise planned? We would love to see a trip report on that!!
Thanks for making things like laundry and banking sound interesting.
You were my first (blog that is) and I will miss you!
Mikey, I have followed you for years and you do a great job ! Take the time you need to reignite your passion. I have always enjoyed the pizza and craps stories the best...

P.S. Thanks for posting a picture of my celebrity girl-crush, Beverly D'Angelo. Now I have to wipe the lipstick off my monitor.
Enjoy the summer off.Will miss the action.Look forward to fresh reads in September.
Why did you remove the link to Carmen's blog?
Because it's no longer part of my daily rotation.
